  • the gas expanded in the turbine is discharged to the outside or is discharged to the outside via a cogeneration plant.

  • the casing (not shown) is divided into an upper casing and a lower casing, and the upper and lower casings are assembled and coupled to each other.
  • the casing accommodates the rotor and a bucket assembly therein, and serves to block or protect inter components from external impact or foreign substances.
  • the rotor serves as a rotary shaft, and both ends of the rotor may be rotatably supported by bearings.
  • Accommodation parts for accommodating dovetail parts 220 of root parts 200 to be described later are evenly spaced along the outer peripheral surface of the rotor in the tangential direction of the rotor. That is, each accommodation part is formed at the radial outer end of the rotor so as to have a certain depth in the axial direction of the rotor.
  • the rotor wheel may have a disc or flange shape so as to protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the rotor.
  • the blade part 100 of the gas turbine blade includes a first surface 130 , a second surface 140 , a leading edge 150 , and a trailing edge 160 .
